What types of dinosours are there?
The main types of dinosaurs were Theropoda, Sauropoda, Ornithopoda (such as hadrosaurs), Marginocephalia (ceratopsians and pachycephalosaurs), and Thyreophora (stegosaurs and ankylosaurs). The first two were lizard hipped, and the rest were bird hipped.
5 types of Dinosaurs?
The five main types of dinosaurs are Theropoda, Sauropoda, Ornithopoda, Ceratopsia, and Thyreophora. The first two were lizard hipped, belonging to Saurischia, and rest were bird hipped, members of Ornithischia.
What are the dinosaurs names?
There are hundreds of known dinosaur genera and even more individual species. However, here are the names of a few of the major groups, and an example of each: Saurischia Theropoda (bipedal carnivores; T-rex) Sauropodamorpha (long necked, generally large, plant eating dinosaurs; Apatosaurus) Ornithischia Neornithischia Ornithopoda (small, bipedal plant eaters, and also large, common plant eaters without armor or horns; Edmontosaurus) Ceratopsia (horned herbivores [ceratopsians]; Triceratops) Pachycephalosauria (armored-headed bipeds [pachycephalosaurs]; Pachycephalosaurus) Thyreophora Ankylosauria (armor covered herbivores; Ankylosaurus) Stegosauria (herbivores with bony plates sticking vertically upward from thei backs; Stegosaurus)
What are other interesting facts about dinosaurs?
Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for over 160 million years, during the Mesozoic Era. The largest dinosaurs, like the Argentinosaurus, could weigh as much as 100 tons and grow up to 100 feet in length. Paleontologists believe that birds are modern-day descendants of dinosaurs, specifically theropods.
What is the meaning of bartooth?
Pararhabdodon (meaning "similar to Rhabdodon" ["bar-tooth"]) was a genus of derived hadrosauroid or basal hadrosaurid dinosaur, from the Maastrichtian-age Upper Cretaceous Tremp Formation of Spain. It is based on assorted postcranial remains, mostly vertebrae, and is notable for the reassignments it has undergone in regards to classification. In 1987, Casanovas et al. described remains of an ornithopod from northeastern Spain, including a cervical vertebra, some partial dorsals, a humerus, and a fragmentary scapula, as Rhabdodon sp.[1] New remains from this site (Tremp Formation, near Isona, Lleida, Spain) brought about a reconsideration of the material, and Casanovas-Cladellas et al. named Pararhabdodon isonense in 1993 from a middle caudal vertebra (IPS-SRA-15), referring additional material to their new genus.[2] At the time, it was considered to be a rhabdodont-like basal iguanodont, hence the name.[2] Additional material from the type locality was collected in 1994, and the species name was corrected to isonensis in 1997 by Casanovas-Cladellas et al. and Laurent et al.[3][4] A dentary (IPS SRA 27) from a second quarry in the Tremp Formation was also referred to the genus, now considered to be a basal lambeosaurine hadrosaurid.[3] Laurent et al. referred additional remains (jaw material, vertebrae, and limb bones of multiple individuals of different ages) from the uppermost Cretaceous of Aude, France, to the genus,[4] but this was not discussed in the most recent review.[5] (Oddly, the second edition of The Dinosauria omitted this genus altogether) Head (2001) disputed the assignment to the Lambeosaurinae, considering it more likely to be basal to the two hadrosaurid subfamilies.[6] This is the same conclusion that Prieto-Marquez et al. (2006) came to, finding it to be the sister group to Hadrosaurinae+Lambeosaurinae ( = Hadrosauridae in their analysis, although the definition of Hadrosauridae varies).[5] Prieto-Marquez assigned IPS SRA 27 to its own genus, Koutalisaurus, a more derived hadrosaurid.[5] More recent research by Prieto-Marquez and Wagner considers Koutal Pararhabdodon (meaning "similar to Rhabdodon" ["bar-tooth"]) was a genus of derived hadrosauroid or basal hadrosaurid dinosaur, from the Maastrichtian-age Upper Cretaceous Tremp Formation of Spain.

Because the material is sparse, more specific conclusions cannot be reached. Spanish material includes: a maxilla; four cervical, four dorsal, and a caudal vertebra; a sacrum; the end of an ischium; and a humerus.[5] # ^ Casanovas, M.L, Santafé, J.S., Sanz, J.L., and Buscalioni, A.D.

What trees flowers and plants are commonly found in the UK?
I assume you mean nuclear plants. The first series were the Magnox design which used natural metallic uranium in magnesium alloy sheaths, graphite moderator, and CO2 gas coolant. These are now obsolete and only one or two stations are still operating. The development of these was the AGR which used oxide fuel in stainless steel sheaths, graphite moderator, CO2 gas coolant. These could operate at much higher coolant outlet temperature and so are more efficient, but to keep the graphite at acceptable temperature a very complicated arrangement of re-entrant gas flow is required. There are 14 of these reactors operating. There is also one PWR reactor operating.
